For all the complaining, it seems like Groce had a set sub pattern for the game (1st half at least). Tate is backing up Tejon and Tracy backing up JCL. He subs in the seniors together shortly before tv timeouts to maximize rest. Probably shouldn't have done the first one at 16:30 with how hot they were... But pre-planned thoughtful sub patterns might be better than Groce's best "play it by ear".

He does this every game.

My bad. I didn't realize Groce subs Tracy and Tate in together for his starters at set times every game. You know, cause Tracy has started every game.

Edit: seeing what you bolded. My point is, I think it was a strategy to maximize Lucas and Tejon together. Which I believe is probably better than the disaster I would expect from him subbing on the fly.

Poor Tracy can't throw it into the ocean right now.

Most of us did not expect Abrams to spend the entire season in the stratosphere on his FG%, but I didn't want to see him crater. =(

I don't even care TJL got the drive blocked. He is at least trying to attack the basket, something that seems forbidden in this offense.

I am beginning to thing Tracy can shoot better with his eyes closed.

You have to feel sorry for Tracy, but he does not belong out there.

He means groce pre-sets his sub patterns before the game and is loath to make in game adjustments

It's a difficult thing to develop, for sure. Snap decision.

I think he'll get there. He's only a freshman, after all. The pace of the game is going to slow down dramatically for him, and his decision-making, which is already good, is going to improve.
